Frame Detection Actionscript 2.0 Flash CS3?
I'm wondering if there is a way for when multiple movie clips show certain frames, something could appear?
For example, I am making a Dress Up Game, but I want other characters in it. The only problem is I want them to be unlockable with certain items of clothing shown at one time. Is this at all possible? If there is a script please post it, or a link I can find it on.
Ok, I have most of the code down, I'm just confused on the right parameter name to put down.
here's what I got:
cover2._visible = false;
cover2.porymovie.onEnterFrame = function(if (_root.head._currentframe == 2 && _root.beak._currentframe == 2 && _root.body._currentframe == 2 && _root.chest._currentframe == 2 &&_root.rightlimb._currentframe == 2 && _root.leftlimb._currentframe == 2 && _root.tail._currentframe == 2) {
cover2._visible = false;
porymovie.onEnterFrame = function(if (_root.head._currentframe == 2 && _root.beak._currentframe == 2 && _root.body._currentframe == 2 && _root.chest._currentframe == 2 &&_root.rightlimb._currentframe == 2 && _root.leftlimb._currentframe == 2 && _root.tail._currentframe == 2) {
var sndMusic = new Sound();
sndMusic.attachSound("233");
sndMusic.start();
I almost have it nailed, but I just can't find the right parameter name.

Problem with actionscript window in Flash CS3 IDE
The actionscript window doesn't open up for any frames on the
timeline. When I press 'F9' or try to access via context menu the
action window tab appears at the top in minimized form. No matter
how many times I click on it or on the maximize button the window
doesn't open up. I tried reinstalling Flash CS3 but it didn't help.
Any help with this issue is appreciated.
Thanks!Found a solution for this atlast ! Delete the Users/AppData

the Flash IDE screws somewhere while saving the local users
settings. Clearing these settings restored my action window

HELP! I cannot figure it out! I'm trying to design an opening animation for my show, but it's all one color. I NEED HELP!
If they are just outlines of the content, then you might have mistakenly selected the outline view option. If that's the case, then just click the colored ractangles you mentioned that are next to the layer names (or click the one atop all of them). ANother placeto look is the View -> Preview Mode ->... and make sure Outlines is not selected.
If neither of those is the case, then can you show a screenshot? -
Hi to all,
I have some questions about actionscript 3 in flash cs3.
I'm a developer and I develop application and website in c#,
flex, and flash.
Currently I would like to port some complex website to flash
cs3.
Why in actionscript flash cs3 there isn't a recordset class
or arrayCollection class ?
Another issue is that if i use Flash cs3 to manage old flash
project that use for example the recordset classes , this classes
are not present in the default package.
Another strange think for example is that the package fl.data
is not present for default , why I need to specify is in the global
classpath.
I try this very strange so I hope that someone can explain to
me this issue.
ByeWe're working on a TechNote covering this, expected next
week.
The Remoting Component and the Remoting classes are no longer
used with ActionScript 3. Rather you'd use the
flash.net.Netconnection class.
For AMFPHP users there's a third-party example here:
http://www.oscartrelles.com/archives/as3_flash_remoting_example
If you want to migrate content to an AS3 SWF you'll have to
update.
More info on this will be posted next week. -

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:

Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)
I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for

Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.
When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Recommend Flash CS3/Actionscript 3 Books?
I am looking to buy two books: one on Flash CS3 and one on
ActionScript 3.0 (probably one by Colin Moock). Any
recommendations?I'll add a little more of a review to the ActionScript 3.0
Cookbook. For the most part the recipes inside are pretty good. I
have been unimpressed though with the amount of spelling mistakes
and code errors. The errata on O'Reilly's website doesn't contain
all the errors either and I was finding a lot more that were not
listed yet. Generally I've found O'Reilly books to be edited pretty
good, this book though seems like it slipped through the reviewers
or something. Still, like I said its a good book and has some good
info in it - just be aware that there are a lot of errors
throughout it.
I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of Colin's book, my past
experiences have been that his books are a cut above everyone
elses. -
Flash8 or Flash CS3 determine what frames and objects use a given library object
I am doing cleanup on a FLA file(a large fla file). I am
looking for an easy way to determine where each library item
may be used in the given flash document and at what frame and
layer it may be used at.
Yes I have updated the use counts by selecting "update use
counts". Which is really nice. Becuase I can then
easily delete all the unneeded objects(note: I was also
guaranteed they(library items) were not called into the FLA file
dynamically by action script, Which was a relief).
So what I am looking for is a way to run a report for one
object or for the entire library to show me where
a given symbol, button,swf, flv or picture is being used in
the parent or it's chidren or in another library item.
Here is an example of the report I am looking for.
Library Item "logo.jpg":
ocurrence #1> _root;layer8,frame 25
ocurrence #2> _root;layer(showlogo),frame 25(imageframe)
ocurrence #3> _root;layer(showfinishpage),frame
125(exitpage)
occurence #4> LIBRARYITEM(logoTween),frame23,layer2
Does anyone know how this can be done...?

How to animate/delay individual frames in Flash CS3
I need to animate 12 layers and I need layer 1 to be 2
seconds, layer 2 at .5 seconds and so on......
How do you change the individual frame delay in Flash CS3 so
that they don't just keep animating fast and never stopping??
Help!!Hmmm - not sure i understand your issue. F5 (insert frames)
will lengthen
the "exposure" of the layer. As to how to prevent them from
"animating
fast" - I don't understand what you are referring to - do you
need to change
the frame rate? When you say "never stopping" what do you
mean? Flash loops
by default in the player (playhead goes from last frame back
to frame 1 and
continues to loop).

Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?
maybe it is a strange question?
I find that sometimes opening a Flash CS3 or Flash CS4 file in Flash CS5 causes the scripts to either fail or I get some strange results.
I do not have specific examples to mention as it does happen on occasions.
At the moment, I am doing a project for a University.
They only run Flash CS3 Flash Player 9, which already leads to issues.
I use Flash CS5 currently.
The first time I sent in a draft example, they could not open the file and also they could not play the SWF file, as they only run Flash Player 9. They will not update the Flash Player to 10 as it will affect other ongoing projects in the University.
I only purchase Master Suites, so I had to reinstall Flash CS4 from the CS4 Master Suite and also Flash CS3 from the Web Premium Suite.
The Flash CS5 file had to be saved out as Flash CS4. I then had to open the Flash CS4 file and save it for Flash CS3.
I found on occasions that opening the file in Flash CS3 cause some placement issues of Text and soemtimes, but not always some Actionscript 3 code would cause some errors.
Has Flash CS5.5 rectified this and added the option to save to Flash CS3 perhaps, this would solve alot of issues.
Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?Actionscript 3 has changed since CS3, though what existed in CS3 has not changed. Newer versions have newer features, so new code was created to support those features.

Flash CS3 seams sluggish with text and if actionscript window open
I have a movie clip on the stage that has a large text box
inside with 18-20pt font, 3-4 paragraphs of text. When I try to
scrub the timeline, the playhead on the timeline does not keep up
with my mouse... it lags way behind. It's like the Flash CS3
software starts to freeze or hang. And the text in the final swf
movie doesn't animate on the timeline.
What I did finally discover is that if I hide (turn off
visiblity) the layer on the timeline that has the text movie clip,
voila! I can now smoothly scrub the timeline. What gives??? I think
others have had similar issues with the CS3 actionscript panel.
My pc specs are as follows... (I think it should be beefy
enough to handle this simple text animation).
Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit, Intel Quad Core, 8G Ram, 512MB
eVGA 9800GTX graphics cardYou have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous. -
ActionScript 2.0 in Flash CS3
I am thinking of upgrading from Flash 8 to CS3 but I'm
skittish about legacy code compatibility and would like the option
-- in CS3 -- of continuing to code in AS 2.0 for the foreseeable
future--until I know AS 3.0 cold and/or I'm ready to do whole new
projects in it. Is this possible?
I have books on both CS 3 and AS 3 and they don't seem to
address this question.

Sure thing.

options: ActionScript

The default choice depends on what sort of FLA file you
open. If you do
File > New, you have the choice to start in AS3 or AS2
(which also counts as
AS1) -- or you can change the Publish Settings at any time
(File > Publish
Settings > Flash), though doing so after you've already
begun coding is very
likely to lead to warning and error messages, for obvious
reasons.

I've heard good things about Rich Shupe's and Zevan Rosser's

Based on Amazon reviewers, they look good! :) These seem to
focus more
on ActionScript 3.0 than 2.0, but if you're already
comfortable (at least,
comfortable enough) in AS2, that may be just what you're
after.

ActionScript 3.0 is a new, overhauled version of
ActionScript made to
take advantage of the new virtual machine in Flash Player 9
and higher.
(Flash Player 9 actually has two virtual machines now, AVM1
for ActionScript
1.0/2.0 and AVM2 for ActionScript 3.0.)

Fair enough. Keep your chin up ... you'll be happy to hear
that Flash
can easily be configured to the way you were used to before.
It all depends
on your Publish Settings for the FLA at hand. If you don't
need new
ActionScript 3.0 features, just head to File > Publish
Settings > Flash tab
and change the ActionScript version field to ActionScript 2.0
or lower. If
you like, you can even change the version of Flash Player for
your published
SWF.
Again, if you're not making use of newer features, you may
as well
publish for the lowest version of Flash Player you can get
away with. Flash
Player 8 introduced filter effects (blur, drop shadow, etc.),
so if need
those, you'll have to publish to Flash Player 8 or higher --
but if you
don't need them, maybe Flash Player 7 would do ... or 6, or
even 5. If you
go 5, you'll have to drop your ActionScript version down to
ActionScript
1.0.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I've noticed that many
people seem
to equate Flash CS3 with ActionScript 3.0 exclusively, but
fortunately, that
simply needn't be. As soon as you change to ActionScript 2.0
or lower,
you'll find that the Behavior panel becomes enabled.
